University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo held its 21st Annual Hoʻolauleʻa on Saturday from noon to 8:00 p.m.

It was free and open to the UH community and the general public.

There was plenty of good food, great prizes, spectacular performances and entertainment, diverse crafts, carnival style games, inflatables and other activities for keiki, and a dance concert in the evening. Music was provided by the Waiakea Ukulele Band, Daniel Marrufo and Roger-Rae Espejo, Lower Aina, Lion Isle, Applesauce Boys, Boomdraw, Hawaiian Roots Band, and Through the Roots.

A good time was had by all!
